Very nice Zane !
I am just confused as to why West coast did not incorporate a chain slider on their swing arms ?
Did I miss something over the years of postings about west coast,,, they did not have anything to put on there did they ?
Zane, I have a local gal that copied/digitized the 84 tank decals and the "250" side decal for me. She charges 35-40 dollars a set if that is of any help. If you want I will pm you her phone #.
I had to redcoat my tank so the after market decals did not bubble off. I thought I had some close up pics on fle but if I do, i can't locate them ,,,

Westcoast never did have a chain slide for the 84 Tecate. I actully purchached a Westcoast brand new when I was a teen. Wish I kept that bike now.. Anyways I road the crap out of the bike and all it did was make two lines into the the westcoast swingarm, just like the old pic I shown. The damage is not bad and can be fixed with a tig when needed.
I'm looking for the complete sticker set, but I'll keep you in mind just in case.
FYI,
The 84/85 Tecate Westcoast swingarm uses 250R Honda bearings! I remember reading this in the instruction way back then. I installed new Honda bearings and they fit perfect.
The westcoast swingarm uses a stock Tecate chain slide. Running a swingarm without one is a real bad idea..
